whimsical wednesdays

happy wednesday :) this week at WW our awesomely talented faith has set our challenge "back to school" create a project related to school, no cards. some ideas would be bookmarks, altered notebooks, a wall organizer or gifts for teacher throughout the year. i chose to make 4 different teacher gifts, note cards with an altered paperclip and a little foodie treat to go along with them. i think its nice to give a teacher a just because giftie to let them know theyre appreciated. be sure to check out the rest of the awesome DTS creations as always youll be so inspired by them.

forwarned this post is gonna be picture heavy :)

for this card i used create a critter for the worm and plantin (italic feature) for the apple with the bite. the other apples are cut from the prepatterned paper which is making memories. i added foam stickies under them and added colorbox fluid chalk and acrylic paint for the dots.

the inside reads youre the best

the red paperclip, and of course the beautiful apple treat matches the card theme :)

Wow Shelly you went to town with the challenge. I don't even know what to say. As always all the cards are stunning. Your inking is so amazing, you always add just the right amount to make your projects pop. Those paper clips are darling. Great job with the challenge. Tons of inspiration here:)

Shelly, these are stunning! Not only the cards, but the matching paperclips and coordinating treats make this such a fabulous gift set. :o) You are so inspiring! (And can I just say that your inking is fantastic?) This is such a happy post... beautiful work! :o) They will be loved and appreciated!

These are all just so gorgeous. I'm a teacher and I just love it when I get a crafty person who belongs to a student. These would make the teacher feel so special. Love the lava coming out of the volcano. The critters are so cute!
